Missing Debug Objects... not fair!

I wish EA would fix/improve access to Buy Debug objects. I would really like access to waterfalls and terrain objects (rocks, plants and trees, etc.). I have researched this problem in detail and am directed to the same solution. Enter the cheats bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects, then either click the empty search button or enter **debug** to access the Buy Debug objects. I have tried this over and over again to no avail. I get the original debug objects, but not the new ones opened up to us with a latest patch. This is just not fair.... Is anyone else frustrated with this problem?

It's there if i'm not mistaken, but not an actual object, it's just a flat texture.
What I often do is filter by pack, it does narrow down things a lot. But, a lot of debug items you'd expect to be from a certain pack can still be basegame.
if so, than it should work, when all the cheats are entered correctly do an empty search and scroll all the way down, you can filter by pack too.
Maybe you need twistedmexi's Better BuildBuy Mod. (i did not care for it)
I use MCCC cheats mod (plus others) so I don't have to type cheats instead of twistedmexi's Better BuildBuy.
Other players love both mods!

It's possible that they are not missing but you just didn't see them? I have this issue even with normal catalogue items, I know they are there, but cannot find them because there are too many items in the catalogue, the catalogue is a mess and they have weird names and you can't use the search function to find them unless you remember al those weird names. The debug catalogue items don't even have names and are not sorted in any way.
In addition, watch some of the builds Kate Emerald does. She uses waterfalls in her builds all the time.

Thanks @GracieO312 but I have not used any 3rd party content since Sims 1. I only use what EA puts out. It gives me a lot less headaches.

You could try getting them off the Gallery. I usually find stuff I am looking for easier there then in the catalogue.
Thanks @crocobaura I have done this many times with objects I can not find on the Gallery (think plants and trees that I have grown). However, I was going to do the same thing with the waterfalls, but they are difficult to squeeze into a lot that I can save. Some of them have a very large foot print and would only allow one or two on a lot. It would be a lot of work and very time consuming to transfer all of these to my lot in progress. Getting them from the debug menus would be so much easier and faster.

If they can be resized, you could make them smaller and fit everything in a room.

To search on S4S:
>Under OBJECT
>Click Create 3D Mesh
>Click the blue OBJECT Button (another window will open)
>At the top, tick the SHOW DEBUG ITEMS
It will then show you every object that's a debug item
You can even search but sometimes the names are obscure
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by waterfall, but if you type in 'water" it shows a bunch of waterfalls that are listed as "landmarks"

@AnnLee87 thanks for that info, I never knew that. I normally just scroll thru until I find what I'm looking for so I've never tried to search anything or I use S4S
